![]() It has been brought to the attention of the Galway Alliance Against War that the local Fianna Fail cumann is due to hold its Easter Commemoration after 12 o’clock mass at Liam Mellowes statue. Our commemoration - the main speaker at which will be the brother of a Guantanamo internee - begins at 12.30pm at the same statue. This means the two commemorations will probably coincide. We would suggest that the Fianna Fail members delay their departure from the church – use the time to examine their consciences. They have much to consider: their party’s complicity in the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqis; their party’s complicity in the kidnapping and torture of prisoners; their party’s support for Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands; their party’s role in turning Shannon airport into a logistical hub for the US armed forces; their party’s role in destroying Irish neutrality. If they take time to genuinely examine their consciences after mass, then surely they will realise that the ideals of the men and women of 1916 have nothing in common with the ideals of today’s Fianna Fail and there is no need for them to commemorate the Easter Rising anymore. |
